Abstract

This paper describes a study of what we call intelligent search techniques as implemented in a software maintenance environment. The techniques studied include abbreviation concatenation and abbreviation expansion. We also describe rating algorithms used to prioritize the query results. To evaluate our approach, we present a series of experiments in which we compare our algorithms' ratings of results to ratings provided by software engineers.
